I was a road cyclist and a formula car racer. Racing is much more dangerous than a bike because when you crash a road bike you are only doing 20mph, so road rash and maybe a broken wrist. Crashing a kart will kill you if 3 people run you over at 100kph. These karts make the packs of FF1600 look tame.
@@epistte That is simply incorrect. In cycling you're unprotected and if you're going 20mph you're on a massive incline or very bad at it. I used cycling as an example because I've used racercycles myself for decades.. I'm no pro cycler, but 20mph is pathetic and in pro cycling they go much faster. Closer to 60-65mph downhill. These speeds are frequent. This is much faster than any crash you're likely to experience in karting since tracks are designed to slow you gradually. I've had plenty karts ride over me.. that's why you're in a suit, helmet and gloves. My worst injuries are a bruised shoulder and a sprained finger from someone riding me. Aside from that general rib soreness is the worst. I've done several hundreds of races and trained more than 10 times that. Even seeing the ambulances in action is rare. The worst injury I've seen in a race was a concussion and whiplash.
@@556to762 Defining feature of a go-kart as a vehicle type is that you're not allowed to have any suspension, the wheels must directly connect to the frame. Not having a differential makes rear axle apply a bit of braking in the corners and makes it a bit more slippery.

There's also the fact that there a solid axle connecting the two rear wheel without any suspension so the kart bounces as the wheels try to regain traction. But regardless, if you look at his right leg, he lifts on/off the throttle in wide corners.

Awesome, looked like you were a little slower than others in the double apex, but wicked fast where you kept passing in the chicane. Was kind of surprised to see the G meter remain relatively constant during stuck to slide to stuck conditions, it must scrub off speed pretty fast when you're sliding? Was rooting for you on the chicane after you'd spent so long reeling that guy in, sooo close ;-(.

Nice remontada :-) Very nice pictures and trajectory, till the end w/ very few mistakes for a pretty long race as well ! Often next to 2G, tough. Congrats !
They're lighter than any other car, have an extremely high downforce and their ground clearance is almost none. This gives them extra speed. (i miss the formula ford)
Wow fantastic! 220 km/h = somewhere around 130 to 135 mph! That is just crazy!! Great video I have been wanting to get into karting here recently but don't really have the money as of right now.
So good...I would love to have a narrated version by the driver talking about what’s going on ie braking points and what he is thinking about. Their is a good vid of the IOM TT where one of the racers does an overlay of this...really makes one appreciate the technicalities of what we are seeing. Thanks for the ride..
Crazy driving skills.. run ouf out of time, otherwise you would have won. You are braking so much later than others.. and on every brake point, you close gap to next driver..
Late in late out. Becuz he was taking terrible lines. If you are going to go in late, you have to have nice line and smooth follow through. Which means coming off the brakes before your apex.
Very nice driving there m8! Watched several of your onboards, great stuff on all tracks. What's the budget to run a full season with these?
